Hi there!

We know that:

Initial Total Mechanical Energy = Final Total Mechanical Energy

(Ei = Ef)

In this instance:

Ei = Gravitational Potential Energy

Ef = Kinetic Energy

In the absence of friction, ALL of the initial potential energy will be changed into kinetic energy at the bottom of the slide. Thus, the maximum kinetic energy of the child will be 1800 J.

The maximum is 1800 J since energy is not created nor destroyed, it is just transformed. In this example, gravitational potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.

Zarrin [17]
We use the Rydberg Equation for this which is expressed as:

<span>1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
</span>
where lambda is the wavelength, where n represents the final and initial states. Brackett series means that the initial orbit that electron was there is 4 and R is equal to 1.0979x10^7m<span>. Thus,
</span>
1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
1/1.0979x10^7m = 1.0979x10^7m [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(4)^2]

Solving for n2, we obtain n=1.

Seema knows the mass of a basketball. What other information is needed to find the ball’s potential energy? the volume and heigh
Wewaii [24]

 It is because the potential energy is similar to MgH.

 When it comes to MgH, it means mass, gravity and height respectively.

 By using the value of acceleration, seema will find the potential energy of a ball.

Opposite electric charges will repel, and like charges will attract.
DochEvi [55]
As it stands now, that statement is false.

There are two ways to make the statement true:

#1).  Exchange the places of the words "Opposite" and "like".

#2).  Exchange the places of the words "repel" and "attract".

Either ONE of these changes will make the statement true.
Doing BOTH of these changes will leave it false.
